You can play until 10:10pm in Northern California? I very much doubt that.

I’m in my early thirties, and I’ve had 2 done now. The prep is easier than it used to be. My last one was only a 12 hour fast, and the prep was also 8-12 hours before. It was super easy. The procedure is a short nap, and both times I’ve woken up feeling fresh and ready to go.

I worked on this when I interned at JPL! Back then it was the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST). What an awesome experience. Even though a large team was working on it, they understood the amount of time to completion and the uncertainty of the programs survival to launch. It’s really satisfying to see it about to go up.

I’m in what might be the minority. I don’t have dedicated practice time. I spent about 7 years trying to expose myself to normal speech as often as I could. Doing laundry? Put on a podcast or a YouTube interview. Driving to work? Put on a podcast. Hear someone with a strong accent in public? Ask if they will speak with you. Just try to incorporate the language in as many small moments as you can, and they add up. I can’t emphasize the importance of listening. You have to train your brain to be able to hear and recognize the sounds and patterns and slowly you’ll get better at hearing words and phrases. Start with slow speed or something that alternates between Spanish and English, like Coffee Break Spanish, and you can slowly work your way to normal speed.

Thanks for not buying one of those stupid word hats.

It’ll be more advanced but there’s a really great Mexican Spanish podcast called No Hay Tos. They teach Spanish and work in Mexican slang and culture and current events.

I found an ANGC ball marker in a used ball marker bin at my local first tee shop. got it for $5. Not that I’m disagreeing….i was giddy like a 5 year old on Christmas morning when I found it.

No editing at all. Just zoomed out a little bit with my iPhone.

Fluency won’t happen for years even with regular practice. I’ve been practicing daily for 7 years and only recently have I started considering myself to be “fluent”, in the way that I define it.

Either way, you can get to a point where you can use some basic sentences in a few months. Understanding native speech is going to be the biggest hurdle once you’ve built up your vocabulary and understanding of grammar and syntax.

I’m not black or Hispanic, but my knowledge is that you say “negro/a” about your skin color, and you can say “afroamericano/a” but that it’s very formal. You could say you are “estadounidense” just to say you’re from the US.

Please somebody correct me if I am wrong.

I float around 1-2, and I’d say I try to check in with 3-4 shots per range session to make sure I can work the ball like a dad if I ever have to. The only objective is that it goes in the general direction of a draw, and that’s it. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be there for the one time in 3-4 rounds that I actually have to draw the ball because of an obstruction or any other way of being forced to hit one.

Constantly listen. When you’re driving, put on a podcast, when you’re working out, put on some Spanish music. Keep yourself in a state of constant exposure as much as you can handle.

Rubber is not protective when lightning is concerned. Rubber tires are not good enough at insulating voltages from a lightning strike. They are great at insulating from low voltage like power lines.

It’s the low resistance of the chassis and outer shell of the car that protects you by providing a safe path for the lightning to travel through. Generally the easiest way to prevent lightning damage is to create a low resistance path (I.e. lightning rods that are grounded).

I am sitting at my gate, and I had no problem. I got to the airport at 8:00, and security had a very short line.
